VIA holding meeting on West Side transit center

VIA Metropolitan Transit is holding its final meeting regarding Phase 2 of the Westside Multimodal Transit Center on the near West Side. Results of an environmental study for transit center’s second phase — a 2.1-acre piece of land bounded by West Houston, North Medina, North Frio and West Travis streets — will be shared.

Just west of the piece of land is Phase I, which includes the former Missouri Pacific train depot. The center will mostly accommodate the VIA Primo-Fredericksburg Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project, which is scheduled to begin operation in December.
